What is the CO2 fire extinguisher?

CO2 fire extinguishers (Carbon Dioxide) are a type of fire extinguisher that use carbon dioxide (CO2) as an extinguishing agent. CO2 is a clean, safe, and effective way to extinguish fires because it does not leave any residue and does not conduct electricity.

CO2 fire extinguisher is invented for extinguishing the Class B and C fire. The class B and C fires include the burning of liquids and electrical things. If the one out of three elements, is taken away from the fire triangle, the fire will be extinguished.

Sizes of CO2 Fire Extinguisher

CO2 fire extinguishers are available in various sizes to suit different applications and fire risks. The most common sizes of CO2 fire extinguishers are:

Co2 fire extinguisher details:

The container of CO2  extinguisher is filled with highly pressurized carbon dioxide gas. Due to the high pressure it becomes liquid in the container but released as a gas for suppressing the fire. It contains a hard horn and do not contains a pressure gauge. The dry ice comes out of the horn while using the fire extinguisher because of the high pressure of carbon dioxide.

CO2 fire extinguisher pressure:

Carbon dioxide in stored at a pressure of 55 bars or 825 psi in the cylinder. At this pressure the gas turns into liquid. When the lever of fire extinguisher is operated, the diffuser decreases the pressure and when the pressure is reduced, the liquid is released in the form of gas. Consequently, extinguishing the fire and cooling down the fuel.

Co2 Extinguisher temperature:

The fire extinguishing agent comes out from the cylinder at -60°C, so it can easily take away the heat element of the fire triangle. In addition to this, it also cuts off the supply of oxygen. In this way it can easily extinguish the fire.more

  4. Sweep the nozzle back and forth across the base of the fire to extinguish it.
  5. Once the fire is out, release the handle to stop the flow of CO2.
  6. If the fire re-ignites, repeat steps 3-5.
